But she has lashed out recently, after being unhappy over being placed below certain singers.

In an interview with LaMag, the singer was not so subtle, describing her displeasure. They ranked her at no. 29 on the list containing too 200 singers, below Adele, who was in 22nd, and Blige, who was in 25th position. While she was already upset about being placed below the first singer, the other one clearly upset her. “These must be the children of Helen Keller,” she said after adding if the list makers were blind.
